Col Sönke Marahrens, "Closing in on Hybrid Warfare"

Continuing our focus on #Russia and #Ukraine, we were pleased to welcome back on short notice #TeamKrulak Non-Resident Fellow Col Sönke Marahrens. In this episode, Col Marahrens discussed how the Western approach to “shaping the battlefield” fails to keep pace with the authoritarian regime's approach to hybrid war, and offers some expanded models for grappling with this problem.

Colonel Marahrens is the Director Community of Interest - Strategy and Defense Hybrid Center of Excellence - The European Centre of Excellence for Countering Hybrid Threats. He is a trained Air Defense Officer and held various positions including Battalion Command, Defense Planning Office and Ministry of Defence. His past writing has focused on innovation, concept development & experimentation of applied (military) scientific issues in the field of cyber and digitization. In 2018 he graduated from the Canadian National Security Program with a Master in Public Administration. His current work focuses on aspects of leadership, leadership processes and leadership in the 21st century, modern forms of conflict, cyber, artificial intelligence and the military as well as the Prussian war game.
